Welcome to Advocate U, an online university created to inspire, educate, and give you the resources you need to be a leader in the fight against global poverty. We’re so glad you’re here!

Worldwide, 1.2 billion people live in absolute poverty and most of them are women and girls.
You can change that.

What We Do

You’re joining a network of more than 27,000 CARE Action advocates dedicated to change – changing U.S. foreign policy and changing lives for the better around the globe. Our advocates represent a wide range of backgrounds, levels of experience and perspectives, but we all share a common passion – to eradicate poverty and improve the lives of women and girls worldwide.

Who We Are

CARE Action is a sister organization of CARE, supporting effective citizen-based advocacy and lobbying efforts. It’s a powerful force that has the potential to influence and change U.S. policy for a safer world.

We are a community of advocates who support CARE's work and advocacy goals, who want to be global change-makers, and who are passionate about women and girls.

CARE Action! was founded to further CARE's mission, most notably by directly influencing policymakers through Congressional testimony, briefings, reports and meetings based on CARE's experience of working with poor people around the world. To learn more, visit www.careaction.org.
